Off down to London tomorrow.

Leave house 11.55am, walk to station.
Train to Edinburgh at 12.16pm,
then train to London at 1.00pm.
It says it should only take 4hrs 40 mins.
Therefore, I should be in London at 5.40pm.
For once, I wish there are no delays.


I come back on Sunday.
12.00 pm train from London.
The time in between, I hope to have met
plenty of good people. Some old friends,
others as yet unmet. We shall see.
No doubt there will be photos.

Enjoy your weekend,
whoever and wherever you are.
smiley - hug

Hello to both of you smiley - biggrin
Train was way too busy. I have had no sleep and here i am at work. Bleugh!
10 hours to go. So only a 27+ hour day smiley - winkeye
I had a quick lurk and look at about 8pm, and saw you both on, but didn't have time to log in properly and say Hi.
I got a text message from Coely to say the photos were up. I have been a nervous wreck all day smiley - winkeye
GB managed to get a seat in front of me, then one stop later got the seat next to me. I am amazed I wasn't hauled off the train at Doncaster! smiley - bigeyes Tried getting on MSN at 8pm from home but it was playing up smiley - sadface and true to form the one here at work isn't playing at all. Assume the pair of you are heading to your respective beds soon, you lucky things.

Both check your mail in the morning as I'll email overnight. (keeps me awake, you know)

Hope you are both feeling better than first thing this morning smiley - smiley
I had a great time and was glad I managed to get down for it.
smiley - hug

But of course you do, I wouldn't assume anything less smiley - winkeye

The reason Mark gave me on Friday for this batch is that they decided to do them alphabetically, so you might be waiting a good while for smiley - sadface

LOL, never mind, remember, it's not just they do that with.
Most anything I want to watch on B2C2 generally gets punted.
I kind of have given up trying to watch anything regularly now.
I just spend my time online, and now when I want to be online, I can't because of smiley - bleep w**k. *sigh*

They haven't replied... what a surprise.

But I've got several videos to watch at present, so I'm reasonably smiley - smiley

smiley - blush yes I saw the photos.
Unfortunately I cannot confess to not having seen some of them before.
However, I did meet many people for the first time. smiley - winkeyesmiley - laugh

Videos. Now there is something I wouldn't mind doing on a regular basis. Unfortunately I feel obliged to justify any purchase I make. So I just don't bother. Silly isn't it?

I finally gave in to my craving to start an XF video collection last week, when some lovely people told me about the boxed sets at HMV for just £30.smiley - wow And thanks to Phil, I now have the movie too.smiley - magic

I'd only met one researcher IRL before (and he's not in any of those photos), so I guess it's safe to stand by my statement.smiley - winkeye

It's going to be so tough waiting for the next meet-up now.smiley - cry

Phil says he might be heading this way in a couple of weeks, so we'll have to get together.smiley - smiley *if I've recovered by then* Can't believe I feel so smiley - ill still... must've had more than the three pints I remember.smiley - winkeye

Time to hit the hay, I think.smiley - zzz

Take care you. Talk to you soon.smiley - cuddle
